Carl Pettersson continued to make it look easy at Mirasol on Friday with a 4-under 68 that gave him a three-shot lead at the Honda Classic, the largest 36-hole margin on tour this year. He was at 13-under 131, three shots ahead of Brad Faxon and Todd Hamilton, who each shot 66.

Vijay Singh's streak of 12 consecutive top 10s and three victories in his last nine starts has pulled him within 3.08 points of Tiger Woods in the world ranking, the closest anyone has been since the system was adjusted in September 2001. It still leaves him with an uphill climb to catch Woods.
